NS Pay is paid by the employer (pays salary normally). There is no need to declare anything in IR8A. NS Pay deducted from the employee's salary will need to be declared in IR8A by reducing the NS pay amount. Refer to the IRAS explanatory notes under IR8A. Please refer to the steps below to reduce the gross salary for NS pay paid by MINDEF (deduct the employee's salary).
Go to the Income Tax module and click View Tax Record.
Double-click the employee's IR8A.
Enter the NS deduction under the Income tab, Gross Salary, NS Pay as follows.
If you have been using the NATI code to deduct the employee's NS deduction from the payroll, then this amount will auto-populate in the IR8A in the NS Pay. (the employee's gross salary will automatically be reduced)
